PETZL – SPIRIT EXPRESS [summer 2013]

Quickdraw for sport climbing

The SPIRIT EXPRESS quickdraw offers better clipping for sport climbing. Weighing less than 100 g, it is versatile and moves easily from the crag to long sport routes. It has a straight-gate SPIRIT carabiner on top and a bent-gate version on bottom.

The top carabiner, equipped with the Keylock system and a special nose shape, facilitates clipping and unclipping the anchor. The second carabiner is equipped with STRING webbing protection to hold the carabiner in position and to facilitate clipping the rope.

The ergonomic shape of the EXPRESS webbing offers excellent grip when working a route.
